My approach in caring for my patients is first to listen and then discuss with them. So doing I can establishing a team work relationship by explaining the disease process or the rationale for prevention and providing medical advice, treatment or preventative measures options. Then we make together a treatment choice so they can feel empowered and get more committed and directly involved in their care management. I speak French, English, and Spanish.
